Prepare an image for upload

Supported images

• Use PNG, JPG/JPEG, or WebP.
• Each original file must be 10 MiB (10,485,760 bytes) or smaller.
• An original image can be at most 8,192 px wide or high and at most 16,777,216 total pixels (width × height).

Generator references are prepared automatically

Select a supported original image. Studio automatically prepares accepted AI Image Generator references, reducing the longest edge to at most 512 px while keeping the proportions. You do not need to resize a valid file to 512 px yourself; smaller images are not enlarged.

The original file must pass the format, file-size, dimension, and pixel limits above and be decodable before preparation. Automatic resizing cannot rescue an oversized or unreadable original.

Keep detail in Image-to-Image sources

Image-to-Image keeps accepted source files at their original dimensions instead of applying the 512 px reference reduction. Choose a source with the detail you want to keep; the generated result can still change those details.

Resizing a source is optional if it already meets the upload limits. If you need a smaller version, a longest edge of 4,096 px or less fits the dimension and pixel limits, but you must still check the file size and format.

Choose the right number

AI Image Generator accepts up to four optional reference images. Image-to-Image starts from one main image. Some Templates ask for an additional reference, such as a pose or hairstyle. Studio labels each image it needs.

When upload happens

Photo Editor keeps an opened image and local edits on this device. Signing in restores the working photo without uploading it. An explicit Save to Creations or cloud AI edit sends the required images to private account storage.

For AI Image Generator and Image-to-Image, image input is sent for the current execution. Signed-out results remain in this browser; signed-in executions use private account storage.

If an image is rejected

1. Read the error and check the original file against the format, file-size, dimension, and total-pixel limits above.
2. If the original exceeds a limit, export a smaller version that meets all of the limits. Generator references do not need manual resizing to 512 px.
3. If the image cannot be decoded, export a readable PNG, JPEG, or WebP, or choose a different image.
4. Select the corrected file in Studio.
